Hello, Crafters.
I wish you all a very happy New Year and hope it will be your best year ever!
This
morning, I uploaded my video called Angie’s Pack Flat Box.
It was
inspired by a video I saw a few years ago by ChicnScratch aka Angie
Juda.
She showed how to make this box almost to the end but could be
folded flat until the box was needed.
Then it could be finished off and
decorated within no time at all.
It really helps out with time
management when you are making them for a big event ahead of you!
I altered the sizing slightly so I could fit a 3″ x 3″ Post It Note Pad inside.
I started working on these boxes on the same day I made the Rose Red
Happy Birthday card when I layered the sentiment on a sheet of Melon
Mambo!
This is why it happened! The Melon Mambo was already out because
of the boxes.
I remember checking the Rose Red cardstock but obviously didn’t actually take it
out! DOH!
The
first Melon Mambo box I made, I decorated with three flowers, which I
thought was too much, although I’m now thinking I rather like it!
The second box had one flower and for the third
box, I decided I wanted to see what it’d be like with a butterfly.
I
love the Blushing Bride box because I prefer generic ativan pill identifier soft, subtle colours.
The
actual box size is a generous 3″ x 3″ x 1″ and will also hold two
fun-size chocolate bars like Milky Way or Bounty Bars, or the Lidl version as shown above!
Equally, it’s a
good size for a small gift like a bracelet and would therefore be good
for Valentine ‘s Day, Mother’s Day and Easter, as well as birthdays of
course!
That’s about it for today. Happy Sunday, and until tomorrow, happy crafting.
JanB.
